Here’s some great pics of the transit of Venus yesterday. We sing about taking out “the motherfucking sun,” but Venus actually does it (in small circular bites.) Respect, yo. –Uncle Eb/John

- Local LA band Super Duper just wants to play some funky rock and roll tunes and have a good time, man. This song sounds like the kind of house party everyone wants to go to, but no one can ever find. Plus I’m a sucker for trumpet. The lead singer’s voice ain’t too shabby either. [...]

- Super Duper contributed a wacky and exciting set that concluded with a pleasantly odd version of “Welcome to the Jungle,” with a tease of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.” Comments

- People can expect to see seven-foot puppets, crazy laser light shows, fun with LEDs, a cage match and one front man who really just loves Lady Gaga; they are something of their own. Definitely one of those bands you have to see live before you fall in love with them. Comments
